OKLAHOMA CITY, OK, September 20, 2013 — Capitol Hill Florist and Gifts rejuvenates its image with a new logo, website and delivery van design. This new look for the 81-year-old Oklahoma City icon, which can be seen on Capitol Hill Florist delivery vans throughout the city, will provide better access via www.CapitolHillFlorist.com to the freshest and widest selection of hand-arranged flowers, plants and gifts for your special occasion.

According to Kent Whitnah, owner of Capitol Hill Florist, “Retiring the previous logo, designed by my dad over 40 years ago, signifies our dedication to staying vibrant and modern. Embracing new technologies, including the updated website, translates directly to better service for customers.”

While Capitol Hill Florist believes in investing in new technology, including its new 7,000-cubic foot state-of-the-art walk-in cooler, it remains dedicated to quality and customer service. When you call, your personal floral designer will answer the phone – no recordings or on-hold music– then get to work creating your arrangement. Providing the freshest flowers and ensuring customers are satisfied is how Capitol Hill Florist and Gifts has thrived over the decades.

The new delivery van design features fun, eye-popping pink gerbera daisies that bring joy everywhere they go. Each of the four vans and three SUV’s are yet another example of Capitol Hill Florist’s dedication to personal human touch. Having a delivery fleet, instead of hiring a delivery service like most online florists, translates to more accommodating same-day delivery services to fit your needs.

No matter what the occasion, Capitol Hill Florist consistently delivers beautiful flowers and unique gifts, making life easier and a little brighter along the way.

Top Ten Reasons: Why We’re Cooler

1.Our flowers are shipped in climate-controlled trucks. –Some local florist rely on FedEx or UPS for the shipment of their flowers, which means that their flowers are exposed to extreme temperatures for long periods of time at various airports. Ours are not. This cold-chain management has been proven to be the single most important thing we can do to maintain the longevity of life and freshness of our flowers.

2.90% of our flowers receive their first cut and drink of water here at our shop. The first cut is the most important and we take care to ensure that all of our major bulk shipments of flowers are cut first under our watchful eye.

3.Our flowers are cut underwater in clean tanks. Cutting flowers under water is a unique technique that’s been beneficial to flowers for their freshness, blossom size, stem stability and longevity of vase life.

4.We use hydration solution on our roses and other weak-stemmed flowers. This hydration solution allows the flowers to more readily absorb the water and nutrients in the water. This technique prevents “bent neck” and makes the stems much more stable.

5.Our flowers are stored in our state-of-the-art 7,000 cubic foot cooler kept at a perfect 35 degrees. Our spacious cooler is 10 feet high, so we can store all of our arrangements, deliveries, party work and wedding designs in the cooler until time for delivery.

6.All of our fresh flower arrangements are professionally designed and hand delivered in a fresh flower food preservative solution. This solution gives the flowers extra nutrients that promotes blossom size and increases the longevity of the flowers.

7.Our vans have rear air-conditioning. This is an expensive option, but we think it is necessary to keep our deliveries as cool as possible while delivering on those hot summer days.

8.All arrangements are professionally designed and hand delivered. Never boxed and shipped without a water supply.

9.Our orders are delivered same day! Better than FedEx and UPS, we get your order delivered the same day you place your order.

10.Because of our large volume of business, our flowers are constantly being rotated for beautiful designs and are not stored for long periods of time. The flowers you receive are fresh and new, not old and moldy.
